Cream Limousine

‘The cream, the bone, the white, the off-white, the ivory, or the beige…?’ it is a decision famously faced by the cricketing legend Richie Benaud and of course lends itself to a little poking of fun too, but in all reality it is a difficult decision.
So why would you choose a cream coloured limousine over [...]

Tougher Than a Hummer - Without Even Trying

Chrysler has really outdone themselves in the limousine department. While the stretched Chrysler 300Cs you see cruising the streets probably had little to do with actual Chrysler coach builders, everything was there in the original to make it the perfect stretched limousine.
And of course the standard Chrysler 300C is such a stunning limousine in itself [...]

Boy or Girl Limousine?

Girls are pink boys are blue right? Well while I’m a typically pink girl, I also know plenty of girls who would choose blue over pink if those were the only choices, so no, not always. Now this is not going to be a nature vs nurture debate about whether you should push pink onto [...]

Truly Elegant Limousine

Bentleys are not immediately recognised as a limousine, or at least not immediately associated with the term ‘limousine’. This is because they are a simple, long wheelbase luxury sedan, but I think this disassociation makes them more of a limousine, than the immediate image of a limousine which springs to mind.
To me a limousine is [...]

Hire an Audi Limousine

Audi limousines are one of the most recognised luxury cars on the roads and not because you can feel them send a rumble through the streets four blocks away, nor because they are imposing and glaring. It’s a certain type of person who hires a luxury car, over hiring just any old limousine.
And no, a [...]

Limo Facial Expressions

Recently the results of a study were released where people were asked to assign facial expressions to a range of cars. They were to liken the front of the car to an angry expression, a happy expression, a tough expression and so on. Most people were able to choose an expression which they felt fit [...]

Follow That Limo! - Celebrity Limousines

You often hear celebrities complaining about being followed by photographers and fans and how they are entitled to a private life. Well I’m not going to get into that debate here, but I am going to pose a similar question – if celebrities want to get around town without being noticed and not draw the [...]

Limo Hire or For Rent?

Technically hire and rent do mean two different things, however in the limousine industry they are often used interchangeably. You pay a limousine company, they provide a limousine and chauffeur for the designated time and then they take it away when the time is up and this is just as often called ‘limo hire’ as [...]

On Show or On Road

Limousines are coveted in pretty much every part of the world, and none more so than presidential limousines. Sometimes the president’s limousine is more famous that the man himself and the president is often remembered and associated with the limousine he was chauffeured in.
Because of the fame and the interest in presidential limousines these limos [...]

End of Bentley Arnage

The Bentley Arnage is not going to be produced any longer and while this is the end of an era in luxury limousines and manufacturing, it can also be seen as a good thing too. Does everyone remember the backlash which the new Rolls Royce Phantom received upon its release? The designers of this typically [...]
